Her lyrics are among the best pieces of wordsmithing I've heard in a long time. I was particularly taken with a song loaded with scientific metaphors; somehow it reminded me of a Tori Amos album cover from the mid-90s that showed Tori amid mass quantities of what looked to me like laboratory glassware.

And her lyrics are less complex, but still far more literate than a lot of the music that's pitched at the mass market. All in all, an hour of very satisfying viewing and listening.
